But now project lead Michael Fieldson is giving us a glimpse at TALOS' deployment timeline. If he gets his way, TALOS suits could be undergoing field tests in only four years.
That's one heck of a short timeline, considering some of the tech that will be going into the TALOS suit. Originally thought to be something soldiers would have to wait until 2032 to get their hands on, TALOS will increase the strength and mobility of its wearer while also keeping them safe from enemy fire.
But don't think of this suit as simply a Kevlar vest duct taped to the jaws of life. To keep its wearer safe, TALOS will be equipped with liquid armor capable of hardening into a bulletproof surface when exposed to an electric current.
